How is it good? I've been having nightmares since I began reading The Shining, and stopped. Just tell me the synopsis, I might just read them.


It's a very complicating series. To put it in a synopsis is a very gruelling task

Ohhh if ya like book, though probably you won't have the same likings as I do. I'd reccomend Broken Sky, My most favorite book series. Else Eragon is a fine litature. And as for manga, Samurai Deeper (for violance), Inu Yasha (also for violance) or Love Hina (for great comedy).

Yes, I've found reading to be more enjoyable ^_^

So, following my logic, the book must be 57024 times better!

Points for DC for being the first to mention Eragon, but nr. 2 was kinda expected.

My favorite trilogy is The bartimaeus trilogy, by Jonathan Stroud.
Then there is Cornelia Funke, her best works are: Inkheart, Inkspell and The theif Lord.
Enjoy.

Count of Monte Cristo

It's like Kill Bill with French people...ok, I meant to sound cooler, but it didn't. But really, it's good. It's a revenge story. Really good.

I don't want to sound like some wierdo but these are all good books/graphic novels...

Johnny The Homicidal Maniac-This is an absolute classic. I am now the noodle boy that flies!

Hellsing-Until I read deathnote, this was my favorite manga series, rediculous violence, nazis, etc. Its like blade,007, and indiana jones thrown into a crack head's blender.

Lords of Chaos:The Bloody Rise of The Satanic Metal Underground-If you like heavy metal musci at all, read this book. If you like true crime, read this book. If oyu like to read about scary real life crazy people, read this book, it has them all and it can introduce you to a great genre of music.

Death Note-manga that reads like a psychological suspense novel? yes it is, and it is very well written compared to most of the manga tripe that gets printed. the art is alright as well, but really this woulkd have worked just as well as a novel instead of a comic book.

Glahart, I'm sorry if I sound mean... but you haven't heard of Count of Monte Cristo?! I mean, I know that book is old, but I like grew up reading Dumas' books (both father's and son's) and it looks kinda weird to me...
Anyhow, it differs quite a bit from the other books listed here - you'll like it if you like old style of writing.
As far as I go, I reccomend The Black Company by Glen Cook. It's a large series, I know, but it's good!

Only heard of it, but I don't know even the smallest bit of the story.
